  • CHARACTERISTICS and DISTRIBUTION of LAKES 543 Lake Van Lies in Eastern Anatolia, in Asiatic Turkey, on One of Anatolia
    CHARACTERISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF LAKES 543 Lake Van lies in Eastern Anatolia, in Asiatic Turkey, on one of Anatolia. the elevated plains separated by mountain ranges, in the volcanic district of Van, at a height of about 5200 feet above sea-level, and has an area of 2000 square miles. It is 80 miles long and 30 miles broad, and over 80 feet deep. The lake is said to be connected with the Euphrates through the little lake of Nazik, which lies on the water- shed between Lake Van and the river, and sends emissaries to both— a rare phenomenon. Lake of Gyoljuk, 12 miles long by 2 or 3 miles wide, lies 3 degrees west of Lake Van, at an elevation of 4000 feet among the Taurus Mountains, between the head-waters of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Under present climatic conditions the lake is on the divid- ing line between a so-called " normal" fresh-water lake with a per- manent outlet and a salt lake with no outlet. In years of large rain- fall it overflows and forms one of the most remote sources of the Tigris, but in drier years the lake has no outflow during the long rain- less summer. Its waters contain borax, but the amount is not so great as to render the water undrinkable. In former times, judging by the evidence furnished by historical accounts and local traditions, Lake Gyoljuk appears to have fluctuated in size in the same manner and at the same periods as the Caspian Sea, and Ellsworth Huntington l considers that this gives good ground for believing that Turkey has undergone changes in climatic conditions similar to those which have affected Central Asia.

My name is Andre Altherr and I’ll be your Crisis Director for the Cabinet of Armenia: 1920 committee. I’m from New York City and am currently a Second Year at the University of Chicago majoring in History and Political Science. Despite once having a social life, I now spend my free-time on much tamer activities like reading 800-page books on Armenian history, reading 900-page books on Central European history, and relaxing with the best of Stephen King and 20th century sci-fi anthologies. When not reading, I enjoy hiking, watching Frasier, and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. I’ve helped run and participated in numerous Model UN conferences in both college and high school, and I believe that this activity has the potential to hone public speaking, develop your creativity and critical thinking, and ignite interest in new fields. Devin and I care very deeply about making this committee an inclusive space in which all of you feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to challenge yourself to grow as a delegate, statesperson, and human. We trust that you will conduct yourselves with maturity and tact when discussing sensitive subjects.

  • Awareness of Cultural Differences Between Turkey and the Czech Republic
    AWARENESS OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TURKEY AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC In this place I would also like to thank my supervisor Mgr. Zdislava Kratochvílová for support (and usefull suggestions) with my work and I would also like to thank my collegue who has helped me with some information. 1 THE COLLEGE OF POLYTECHNICS, JIHLAVA Programme: Economics and Management Field of study: Travel Toursim AWARENESS OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TURKEY AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC Bachelor Thesis Supervisor of bachelor thesis: Author: Mgr. Zdislava Kratochvílová Jitka HANAUEROVÁ In Jihlava, 2011 2 ABSTRACT HANAUEROVÁ, Jitka: “Awareness of Cultural Differences between Turkey and the Czech Republic“; Bachelor thesis; The College of Polytechnics in Jihlava; Field of study: Travel Tourism; Supervisor: Mgr. Zdislava Kratochvílová; Degree qualifications: bachelor; In Jihlava; 2011. 65 pages. My bachelor thesis is trying to show a little bit more of Turkish culture. My theoretical part provides important information about Turkey. Not only does Turkey have rich history, which means beautiful historic places, but there is also beautiful nature, and I am writing about many of those places. I have used the info mainly from travel guides and some information is from my own experiences from times when I used to work in Turkey. In my practical part I have chosen to conduct the research by questionnaires. I have made two types of questionnaires. One type was for those people, who have been to Turkey at least on holiday – there were 50 respondents. And the other type was for those people, who have lived or have been still living in Turkey – there were 20 respondents.

The arable lands and water resources of the world are rapidly becoming polluted and disappearing. Scientists think that mankind will in the near future be faced with a serious shortage of water and food. In the light of these developments, the biological diversity of a country is becoming a major strength, especially in terms of genetic resources. As a country that has vital resources for people’s food security. Turkey is one of the fortunate countries of the world from the viewpoint of biological diversity. This considerable wealth both offers our country economic opportunities and imposes upon it the responsibility to establish a conservation- utilization balance.

  • 12 Day Tour of Eastern Turkey
    Eastern Turkey Tours 12 day tour of Eastern Turkey Exceed your expectations Email: [email protected] Hagia Sofia Day 1 Trabzon Take the morning flight from Istanbul to Trabzon .The guide will be at the airport to collect the party.We will start the tour with a visit the Hagia Sophia Museum, a significant 14th century Byzantine church, overlooking the Black Sea, which boasts some frescos of considerable importance . From Trabzon we travel a short way up the Zigana Valley, to Macka in the Altindere National Park to visit the Monastery of the Black Virgin at Sumela. In this truly spectacular setting, the seven story Sumela Monastery hangs from the side of a 1200 ft cliff overlooking a steep river valley. The Wedding at Cana This has been a monastic site as early as the 4th century AD and was a renowned monastic community partly because of its remarkable location and the ascetic principles characterised by the early years of Christian monasticism. The monastic community here played an important part in the many political and religious debates and conflicts during the Byzantine period and during the Kingdom of Trebizond. The Turks took control of the region in 1461 and Sumela's political influence ceased but under Ottoman rule its religious community continued until the breakup of the Ottoman Empire. The present buildings probably date from the 12th century and the frescos from between 1710 and 1860. In the latter part of the First World War Trabzon was occupied by Russian forces and the Christian communities became involved in the ethnic struggles that preceded and accompanied that occupation.
